average CO2 emissions per person, 1967-2007

average CO2 emissions per person, 1967-2007 PEELK

The line graph compares how much the carbon dioxide emitted on average in the UK, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal over 40-year period from 1967 to 2007. It can be clearly seen that an upward trend is observed for the emissions in the first two countries while a downward trend is seen for these in the others. According to the graph, the average emissions of this gas in the UK declined gradually from 11 metric tonnes in 1967, the highest quantity over the whole period, to 9 tonnes in 2007. In Sweden, there was a moderate increase from just under 8 at the beginning year to just over 10 tonnes in 1977 when the peak occurred. This is followed by a sharp drop to nearly 6 tonnes in the last year that was the same quantity generated in Portugal. It also overtook the second most production of carbon dioxide by Sweden at 7 tonnes from 1987 onwards. In contrast, Portugal maintained its last position where produced this resource, below 6 metric tonnes along the period. A considerable rise took place in the emissions in both Portugal and Sweden by around 5 and 4 tonnes respectively. In conclusion, the gap of the carbon dioxide generation on average per citizen between the four locations narrowed over a span of 40 years.
